KET is a multiple choice software and was developed by three researchers of the Technical University of Wroclaw. It is composed of three independent parts: word processor, test, and results. The first part enables the teacher to prepare 1 question per screen. The question may take up to 250 letters. There may be 4 answers to choose from, of which 1-3 may be correct responses. The second part is a routine test with the possibility of moving the difficult questions to appear later in the queue. The third part summarizes the results both individually and for the whole group. The teacher can immediately correct wrong choices, whether it is a mistake made in preparing the test, or student error. The suggestions for the teacher resulting from this material help optimize the teaching and learning process.
